The Wolf In Me

Chapter Two

I froze as the voice sent shivers down my spine. I didn't have to turn around to notice he was the Alpha. 

"Trespasser" He yelled again. His wolves stood behind him in wolf form growling at me. i slowly turned around and stared wide eyed at him.

Mate  Layla yelled in my head over and over again. I looked at the Alpha as he too stared at me wide eyed. A smile crept on my face when I realized I finally found my mate. I've waited for this day, for him to save me. My face fell when I realized who he was and what he was....I looked him in the eyes and realized he was mind linking someone. 

"Take her to the house" I heard my mate say. His voice was deep and it sent shivers down my spine. his jet black hair shuffled in the wind and his jaw was tense while he said it. I didn't move as he walked slowly towards me. I stepped back a bit as he sniffed me and took a deep inhale. I watched as his eyes turned a dark black color before he immediately pulled away and walked away. My wolf and I whimpered as we felt once again...no one wanted us.

"What's your name" I heard on of the wolves say. All three of them had shifted back and was now walking with me to a house. They all changed into their clothes and stood around me. I didn't speak. I only looked in front of me at the big brown mansion. It had large gold pillars in front of it. Kind of like the White House in Washington DC. 

We walked inside and my mouth dropped. It was beautiful.

I heard a low growl and one of the guys instantly came up to my face.

"I asked you a question rogue. I will not deal with the disrespect!" he said basically yelling in my face. Backing up I ran into the kitchen and his behind the island table that they had. I bent down and realized they had a whole bunch of canned foods back here.

I heard him growl again as he walked menacingly towards me.My eyes went wide and I threw it at him without even thinking. The can hit him straight in the head. his eyes went wide and he looked shocked as another one came his way. the two other guys came into the kitchen and tried to get to the table but I continued to throw cans at the entrance where they all stood.

"Ahh What the hell, she has a good arm" one of them said.

"Why'd you have to go get her riled up Simon" the other one said.

"I was just trying to be authoritative, I'm new to this whole Beta thing" I'm assuming Simon said. I continued to throw my cans as they ducked and tried to dodge most of them. I at least hit each of them twice. I'm sure of it. 

"You're so stupid" the other guy said. They kinda seemed nice but I couldn't trust them. There was no way i was going do that. Especially since I just met them.

I heard the front door open but I didn't mind it.

"What the hell" I heard as I looked up and saw my mate standing by the door. I groaned and continued to throw the cans.

"What is going on here" he asked. Simon instantly pulled my mate down to the ground to keep him from getting hit.

"I may have snapped at her and she ran and just hid there. Then she started her assault" I heard Simon telling my mate. I still didn't know his name yet, I needed to figure it out.

"Ugh Idiot" I heard my mate say. I crouched down to pick up more cans when I looked up and Simon and the other two guys were gone. I held the can in my hand and instantly jumped as I felt hands snake around my waist and pick me up. I screamed and from the sparks I felt it was my mate. The can was still in my hand when he picked me up bridal style and took me out to the kitchen. He set me down on the couch in the living room and sighed.

"Why'd you just assault my pack with canned food?" he asked trying not to laugh. I could see it on his face that he wanted to laugh. I only looked up at him and stared into his gray eyes. He looked at me softly and I stretched out my hand to give him the can. He smiled and took it.

"Sorry" I mumbled softly and looked down.

I sighed as he lifted my chin up with his index finger and smiled.

"Aye it's okay, I was just kidding, I know Simon bothered you, he can be an ass sometimes" he said.

"What's your name?" he asked me silently.

"Charity" I replied looking at his eyes.

"Charity" he repeated so softly. I smiled. I loved the way he said my name. It sounded beautiful almost.

I nodded slowly and continued to look at him. 

"I'm Achak. Welcome to the Moon Valley Pack" he said holding his hand out. I looked at his hand weird and stared up at him.

"It's called handshake" he said reaching for my hand and putting it in his. My small hands fit perfectly into his and I smiled softly. The electrical shots ran through my arms and I couldn't help but smile. 

I let go instantly as the three guys came in.

"Well you met Simon, my beta. And that's Chris and Ethan some of the best pack warriors. And you know me, I'm Achak, Alpha of the Moon Valley Pack"  Achak said pointing at each of the guys as he called their names. I saw Simon looking away with his arms folded. Each of them had a faint red mark on their foreheads.

I heard Achak clear his throat and Simon rolled his eyes.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to get all rude and tough guy with you. We're the Moon Valley Pack. Everyone thinks we're so deadly but we're really not. We just strong, really strong."  he said huffing and puffing. I simply giggled and got up.

"It's okay...sorry for the cans" I said to all of them. They all just laughed.

"Charity...I need you to tell us how you ended up here" Achak asked. I nodded and sat down on the couch where I was before. Simon, Ethan Chris sat with us too. I didn't mind them knowing.

"Well...I don't know who my parents are. i lived with Grandpa. He found me in the woods when i was 1 and he took care of me. But he died when I was 9. And ever since then my pack has been beating me and abusing me..." I paused for a minute. I heard Achak's knuckles snap and flinched as he punched the wooden table right next to him...

"Sorry...continue" he said through gritted teeth. i stood up and came to sit next to him, to try to calm him down. I was kind of happy they weren't as mean and ruthless as the stories say. 

"Last night they had a party and I heard my Alpha selling me to one of his friends...I didn't want them to rape me...that was the only thing I had left. Every part of my body has been beaten and touched. i didn't want them to take my innocence away too...It was one thing I was waiting for my mate to take. So I ran. I let Layla, my wolf take over and she just ran here. I didn't know why until she gave me back control...and now I'm here" I sighed with a few tears rolling down my face.

"So you don't know where you were originally from or what happened" Chris asked sounding very sad.

I shook my head no and he simply looked down at his hands. 

"Bastards!" I heard Achak say growling. I raised my hand and rubbed his hair softly. He closed his eyes and focused on me. 

"I'm sorry that all of this happened to you. It will never happen again. i swear to you!" Achak said holding onto me. I simply smiled and let him hold me. He needed to calm down and I would be here for him. 

"Simon, get in touch with our contact and pull everything you know or see about Charity" he said.

 Simon nodded.

"Do you have a last name" Simon asked.

I shrugged and looked away. I had no idea what or who my parents were, let alone their first and last names. 

I only sighed and yawned. I really need to sleep. I listened to Achak and them talk about some pack stuff and I zoned out. I didn't even realize I fell asleep on Achak's lap.
